This word is from the Spanish fresa. 🍓
pré·sas
présas
strawberry
In the process of being imported into the Philippine lexicon, many Spanish words are in the plural form when Tagalized. This is particularly common in the case of fruits.
Example:
isang mansanas
one apple
isang peras
a pear
Strawberries are grown in mountain regions of the Philippines, particularly in Baguio City and environs.
Filipinos these days are more familiar with the English word, rather than the old Spanish derivative.
